In addition, a library is good if it can attract people to come and have the latest book collections, and it can be accessed quickly and easily. For this reason, Undiksha Library UPT is encouraged to always innovate to make a superior library.
The committee chairman, I Putu Sukayana, S.E., explained that this activity was carried out following the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 4, 2007, concerning Libraries which mandates that each library develop services according to IT progress. The INLISLite application has been developed by the Indonesia National Library or Perpustakaan Nasional RI (Perpusnas) since 2011. The application is expected to support librarians in each library to provide more optimal services.
Besides being an event to increase the knowledge and understanding of librarians about the INLISLite application, this activity was also a forum for sharing knowledge between librarians, librarian managers, and prospective librarians for library services. (hms)
